Tableau Rest Api special characters

Question

I'm using Tableau Rest API to retrieve the list of workbooks from Tableau Server and show the list on a webpage. The problem is that special characters in workbook names have invalid encoding (or at least encoding that I do not expect).

Name set in Tableau server web UI:

Book ó

Name retrieved from rest API:

Book ó

As far as I can tell this issue occured after we upgraded Tableau server to 2018.1.

Is there a way to specify the encoding in Tableau Rest API? Or determine the encoding used to store the workbook name in Tableau Server web UI?

Answer 1

事实证明，在Tableau Server更新到2018.1之后，C＃WebClient需要将编码明确设置为UTF8，以便在查询Tableau REST API时正确处理特殊字符。
